Prabhāsa Departure Set-Up
नाधुना तेऽखिलाधार देवकार्यावशेषितम् । कुलं च विप्रशापेन नष्टप्रायमभूदिदम् ॥ २६ ॥ तत: स्वधाम परमं विशस्व यदि मन्यसे । सलोकाँल्लोकपालान् न: पाहि वैकुण्ठकिङ्करान् ॥ २७ ॥
nādhunā te ’khilādhāra deva-kāryāvaśeṣitam kulaṁ ca vipra-śāpena naṣṭa-prāyam abhūd idam
噢，一切之所依者，如今您为诸天所应行之事已无所剩；此族亦因婆罗门之诅咒而几近毁灭。故若您愿意，请入于您至高的自性圣境；同时也请恒常护佑我们——毗昆他之仆——以及诸世界守护者、我们的星界与随从。
FAQs
This verse records the devotees’ prayer that Kṛṣṇa may enter His supreme abode (svadhāma paramaṁ) according to His will, while still granting protection to His surrendered servants.
They accept His divine plan to depart, yet they beg that His safeguarding presence—directly or through the world-guardians—continue for His devotees, who depend on Him alone.
See yourself as Kṛṣṇa’s servant, prioritize devotion and duty, and pray for spiritual protection—steadfastness, purity, and guidance—rather than mere material security.
